This matched up far closer to my own experiences than I expected.

I enjoyed it a lot.

just wanted to note that the interplay of visuals, sound and story in this is absolutely great. 

I played this after it being mentioned in a youtube essay about surreal horror games and I gotta say it was a phenomenal game. I loved exploring this world you created and the thoughts you have about creativity and the fire that burns within us all. Will definitely play more of your games to enjoy more of your work. Really well done!

Phenominal experience. Loved every aspect of the presentation here, and really resonated with the message.

thank you for the experience :] the shaders are beautiful, btw

I finally played truss. I cried a lot. It hits *so* eerily close to home.

It's such a haunting and terrifying feeling to lose your drive when you consider your entire purpose in life to be the creation of things. When your best means of expressing your emotions & experiences are works of art, it's as if you cannot speak anymore whenever you hit a creative wall; Burnout, fatigue, unsureness of who you wish to be.

I love truss. I understand how you feel.

That gave me so many mixed emotions. Went from confused to scary to cute to wholesome. Not many games can do that, good job ! 

I made a video on your game if you're interested :)

Нужно ли нам куда-то бегать? Искать себя? может быть незачем.. Может мы итак нашли себя, может не стоит покидать свой огонь, Наши попытки уйти от себя прежнего делают нас не теми, кто мы есть. Может мы короли, а может грешники,  может просто хотим власти,   мы только отдаляемся от своего пламени.  Не покидайте свой огонь

Всего хорошего

nothing short of lovely and very atmospheric. Truly enjoyed this one. Everything was handled w great care.

god damn,
that hit something different.
the sounds, groovy 3d effects, a conflicted story about creation

something about the droning synth cords on the lampposts made me remember things i can't put words too.

spoiler
I also hope to meet you again some day and share what we both made.

Ohhh this was delightful! Really enjoyed the whole entire atmosphere (and hey, worked great on linux~)

I just played this after forgetting to do so for some time, thankfully I was reminded to play it just now!

I loved it :}

Loved it!

Lovely concept, aesthetics and atmosphere. Loved it!

Ok but this game is genuinely so aesthetically pleasing, not only the graphics but the little piano notes that play when you interact with something also gives it some charm. Wasn't really paying attention to the story so I did not fully understand everything but it still was nice to play 

This was really fun! Felt very personal - like the creator made the game for themselves more than anyone else, which isnt something i see often. I should replay it again some time to really soak in the meaning of the game and what the creator was saying. 

since 1.0.5 i cannot move       why do things like this happen. i do not understand things

Oh no. What setup are you using? Are you using a controller or keyboard? If controller which one?

builtin laptop keyboardd, external mouse. wawa

I assume windows? Also, are you running it through Steam or just on its own? And does it still do that without the external mouse connected on launch?


Sorry to ask a million questions, just covering all my bases! There’s a few things I’m thinking of trying.

windows, running standalone. still does the thing without the external mouse connected on launch

Figured out the problem, was being triggered by launching the game without a gamepad connected (update loop for checking input from keyboard would fail before polling it). Should work now in version 1.0.6!

why i cant move !! T_T

Should work now in version 1.0.6!

Weird and cool and I don't really know what this was about. I enjoyed it though.

Wow Damn, really good and interesting game. Really creepy vibes, and would love to see more of these kinds of games.

BTW, for anyone who would like to know, it takes around 30+minutes to play this game.

A bit of spoiler

There was a part I thought the game was done, but it doesn't end until it literally tells you it's done.

it was short and nice!

Thank you so much for this game.

i already knew you because of nice vfx and a few stuff on gamedev on twitter. 

but oh my god. 

after this game you're legit on my "need to tell people about" dev list now

Same here. What an incredible little game.

I just finished this beautiful game and I'm a bit in tears. Thank you for creating this melancholy, yet comforting world.  I truly feel inspired right now. 

Hats off to everyone who was a part of the creation of this game.

I had a lot of fun with the game! It had some cool parts as well, good work :)
